Get Ready, Michigan Basketball Will Be Back And Better Than Ever

Better watch it, Big Ten

Get Ready, Michigan Basketball Will Be Back And Better Than Ever
Elizabeth Williams

Michigan's Men's Basketball Team went into the 2017-2018 season unranked and unnoticed, but they soon would prove sports commentators, The Big Ten, and haters that we were The Team to beat.

They said we would never be Michigan State. We did twice.

They said we would never win the Big Ten Tournament. We did.

They thought our tournament run was over in the second round to Houston. We won in a buzzer beater.

They said we would never beat Texas A&M after that. We beat them by 27.

They said we would never make it to the finals. We did.

Even though we did lose to Villanova in the finals, this season showed me that the future is very bright for Michigan Basketball.

As an avid Michigan Basketball fan, the loss to Villanova is sad, but I know the returning players will use this sadness and energy and channel it into the off-season to come back stronger and better than ever. Like Jordan Poole said in a press interview after Michigan's 79-62 loss to Villanova, "It’s life or death at this point."

I can not wait to be in Crisler next year when they raise The Big Ten Champion Banner and The Final Four Banner because even though we lost in the finals, it does not negate the successes we have had this season.

I will never forget coming back from behind and beating UCLA in overtime. I will never forget beating Ohio State in Crisler. I will never forget the buzzer beater by Jordan Poole. I will never forget winning The Big Ten against Purdue. I will never forget beating Michigan State in East Lansing.

Win or lose, I will always love Michigan Basketball and John Beilein.

Michigan Basketball is coming back better than ever next year, watch out. Forever, Go Blue.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
